IFL President Andrew Langer debates MeMe Roth on FoxNews, Sunday, July 18th 2010. The subject is the Department of Health and Human Services' new regulatory proposal. HHS wants to put a "Fat Stamp" on electronic medical records.
1) This new regulatory scheme doesn't reduce obesity one ounce while costing taxpayers huge amounts of money; and
2) The Constitution doesn't give the federal government the power to mandate that doctors put a "fat stamp" in people's PERSONAL and PRIVATE medical records.
If we want to focus on entitlement reform, I'm all for it. Place restrictions on what products can be bought with foods stamps, for instance.
If you want some real nutrition advice, go view the "FatHeadMovie" youtube channel, he has some great posts on how stupid MeMe is. "BMI is accurate for everyone except bodybuilders and professional athletes." = very STUPID comment!

I think it's fairly obvious:
1) This new regulatory scheme doesn't reduce obesity one ounce while costing taxpayers huge amounts of money; and
2) The Constitution doesn't give the federal government the power to mandate that doctors put a "fat stamp" in people's PERSONAL and PRIVATE medical records.
If we want to focus on entitlement reform, I'm all for it. Place restrictions on what products can be bought with foods stamps, for instance.
But don't expand government power.

Great debate! Now if she would just READ the Constitution! If looking in the mirror doesn't do the trick, I hardly think a fat stamp will either.
